Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say, when he wanted to marry a woman, he would take her by the hand and ask her to say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma jubilat 'alaihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jubilat 'alaihi.' (O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what You have created it with, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil of what You have created it with). And when he wanted to buy a camel, he would hold its hump and say the like of this.
